ÐAlways carry on a ﬁrst range test and function test on the

ground (hold the model tightly) before your model is used.

Repeat the test with the motor running and with short

bursts of throttle.

to check the further relevant laws and regulations. These

laws you must obey in every case. Pay attention to the pos-

sibly different laws of the countries.

ÐThe insurance is mandatory for all kinds of model opera-

tion of the model is covered. If applicable, extend it to spe-

cial model liability insurance. We recommend to provide the

copter with a label, where are indicated the name, address,
